Round 52 - Mafia the Hedgehog

A vote for nale is a vote for a mafia victory. like, if I am voted off, the mafia has a higher chance of winning. That's what I mean. Anyway, countervote

Nale - 1 - DA
Nyu - 1 - Phoenix
DA - 1 - Nale

3/aplar

I'll vote phen for now, let the RNG gods decide.


Nale - 1 - DA
Nyu - 1 - Phoenix
DA - 1 - Nale
Phen - 1 - Tael

4/?

15 mins remain.

Only Nyu has not voted.

Nale, are you saying you're the vigilante?

The guy who is has no reason to not roleclaim it now.

POLLS CLOSED DESUUU

no. I'm town, and if a town dies, mafia has better chance of winning. I suck at using powers, if you haven't learned that by now.

That afternoon,

The few remaining mobians gathered again in the centre. Mighty the Armadillo hadn't bothered socialising with them for many years, and by coming to this gathering had got far more than he had bargained for. The bickering continued, and the ever-smaller gang remained at a loss as to who the encage, resorting once more to drawing straws.

Mighty lost against the odds.

Spoiler:

That night:

Charmy was getting very nervous. Rightly so, as he was to be the victim that night. Lucky for him, he had brought with him a single golden ring for protection, for he was a cautious bee. Good job he did too, for the final number of Robotnik's Possessed had approached undetected behind him. A blow of terrible strength smashed into Charmy from behind, and surely he would have been defeated if not for his ring, which he did not hang around to try and reobtain. He flew off as fast as he could, not even daring to look back.

There was no victim that night.

You know the drill, ending 1am GMT / 5pm PST / 8pm EST
4 players remain...

I'm Charmy, btw, my ring saved me.

4 players left, and it could honestly be any one of you

Any role reveals left?

I know there's at least one good townie left from Nyu and Phen, so statistically safest bet is DA at the moment.

Might as well start playing this

Gentlemen, there's 4 of us and 1 of him.
We have absolutely NO LEADS and the RNG didn't help yesterday.

Barring me, Phoenix, Nyu and Tael are still here.
Something tells me that Tael's protection finally payed off.
I am not certain at all of Nyu...
And Phoenix has been too quiet...

If we lynch a townie today, the mafia has a chance to perform a kill tonight, leading to a 1v1 draw game.
If, instead, one of us ends up being protected--


wait a minute, why hasn't the mafia offed Tael if he's already rolerevealed?

I need more time to ponder this.
Oh, so Tael ended up--

You are supposed to reveal your GAMEPLAY Role! Not your RP Role!
That, and all this flimsiness is making me suspect you big time! You could've just claimed Charmy this quickly to immediately keep your facade!

DA - 1 - Tael
1/4

Well, someone else can claim it if they want. If I am mafia, nothing's stopping them, and then you know that one of us is definitely mafia. But if noone else claims it, means I'm the real one.

You're fishing for votes a little, which makes me suspect mafia. Well played, if you are. Plus, voting for me off the bat when I was the one targeted last night seems MIGHTY suspicious to me.

DA - 1 - Tael
Tael - 1 - DA

2/4

EDIT: I actually haven't done anything useful as doctor yet due to absolutely terrible picking, I doctored Nale last night and was targeted myself - if there was any confusion.

Oh, how the Mighty have fallen...

Hmm... this is really tricky... I still don't trust Tael because we don't really have proof on if he targeted Nale or not... and Doctors can't protect themselves so no idea where the ring thing came from... Unless Zink did something special with roles...

Gonna have to follow DA.

DA - 1 - Tael
Tael - 2 - DA, Phoenix

3/4

My original role was to have the ring, I got the doctor power from massive night 1 because apparently when he died his power went to the person that he was protecting that night.

Either DA or Phoe... I'll deposit my vote on Phoe unless he backs himself up.

DA - 1 - Tael
Tael - 2 - DA, Phoenix
Phoe - 1 - Nyu

4/4

Christ. I'll vote phen for the moment to save myself, but I've got a very sneaking suspicion that DA's the mafia.


Tael - 2 - DA, Phoenix
Phoe - 2 - Nyu, Tael

4/4

Polls closing in 15!

I swear to god if me and DA die and we're both town I'm gonna be so mad

Polls. Closed.

GAME. OVER.

INCOMING BIG FINAL UPDATE. (But will it be worth the weight?)

With both Charmy and Vector having equal votes, they knew it was going to be close. Get this wrong and it could well be the end.

They flipped a coin.

The result was Possessed Vector (Phoenix).

They looked up, but he was already running away. Pretty incriminating behaviour, frankly. Amy, Shadow and Charmy nodded to each other and set off after him. On the horizon, they saw Doctor Robotnik’s Flying Battery coming to collect Vector. After making short work of him, Charmy flew the trio up the airship, which they tore apart from the inside after locating and rescuing their friends, making extra careful to destroy the Mind Control Device, this time well beyond repair.

As they returned to town, they found that Vector, who was now freed from Eggman’s control, had unlocked the cages and was explaining to them exactly what had happened. Combined with the data Shadow had just mined from Eggman’s computers, they had a clear picture of how it all went down.

Which was something like this:


1. Link – Sonic
2. DA – Amy
3. Massive – Cream
4. Taels – Charmy
5. Gamij  – Espio  
6. Axel – Blaze  
7. French – Knuckles  
8. Nyu – Shadow
9. Yoshi – SANIC  
10. Nale – Mighty  
11. Scept – Rouge  
12. Shadi – Emerl  
13. Zyquux – Chip  

14. Cloak – Tails  
15. Stalin – Silver  
16. Vat – Big  
17. Phonics – Vector

Act 1:

Voted off: SANIC (Yoshi)

Knuckles (French) searches DA (Amy) (Finds shard)
Scept (Rouge) searches Shadi (Emerl) (No shard)
Passive: Knux and Rouge find one shard each, raising total to 3/10

DA (Amy) turns invisible
Espio (Gamage) investigates Tails (Cloak), returns POSSESSED
Shadow (Nyu) does nothing
SANIC (Yoshi) puts second vote on Chip (Zyq)
Emerl (Shadi) copys ability from Knuckles (French), gains Emerald Hunting.
Chip (Zyq) does nothing

Possessed Tails (Cloak) uses invention D (Teleporter) on Rouge (Scept), randomly switching him with Amy (DA) for the night.

Possessed Silver (Stalin) blocks Nyu, alerting Nyu.

Cheese has no Cream to return to, stays with Charmy (Tael)

This was the weird night.

Tricky Manoeuvre: Possessed Tails uses invention D (Teleporter) to bus Zyq and Gamage, while nightkill is targeting Zyq (thus they are hoping to kill Gamage)
Teleporter battery depleted!

Zyq blocks Gamage (and so blocks himself, doing nothing)
Gamage investigates Stalin returns Possessed, but it’s worth nothing cos he’s dead
Tael sends Cheese to protect Gamage, instead protecting Zyq (from nothing)

Nyu does nothing

Remaining roles:

DA:
You are Amy the Hedgehog.
Work with the mobians to work out who has been possessed by Dr. "Eggman" Robotnik's mind control ray.
For this week only, I'll accept that Sonic '06 is canon! Know what that means? You can turn invisible to avoid night actions. This has a one day recharge period.

Tael:
You are Charmy the Bee.
Work with the mobians to work out who has been possessed by Dr. "Eggman" Robotnik's mind control ray.
Nobody really likes you, but you sure like everybody else! You have a Golden Ring! As long as you have this, you'll survive a hit. But if you're feeling generous, you can give it to someone else.

Nyu:
You are Shadow the Hedgehog.
Work with the mobians to work out who has been possessed by Dr. "Eggman" Robotnik's mind control ray.
You're a pretty powerful guy. There are some who would even call you "the Ultimate Life Form"! You've come with a Chaos Emerald. Never leave home without one! ;-)
Your Chaos Control ability grants you some power over time and space! Once anybody has disturbed you in the night, you automatically use this power to see who they were and what they did.
Just once in the game you may use you Chaos Spear attack to eliminate another player. Although perhaps something will cause it to recharge?

Phoenix:
You are Possessed Vector the Crocodile.
Work with Possessed Tails, Possessed Big and Possessed Silver to eliminate the mobians for Doctor "Eggman" Robotnik.
You are a bad guy! But there’s nothing particularly special about you really.

Awards:

Overpowered Underachievers: The Mobians (Town)
Please stop me if it was clever deduction that got Vat lynched in Act 2, but from where I sat, the town never really seemed to get any mafia by skill. (One killed himself, another by vigilante, and one by an unconvinced coinflip.)
You ignored your investigator and kept lynching all your useful roles after they revealed themselves!

Knuckles Award of Emerood Hunting: French
His role was complex as hell, but he took it in his stride. In theory the fastest he and Scept could rebuild the Master Emerald was in 5 days if they had PERFECT LUCK, but the odds made it much harder with the shards hidden round town. By convincing Shadi to join him, it almost looked for certain like a survivor victory by even the 3rd or 4th night. Mafia had other plans...

Zannen Award: Yoshi
Someone’s got to go day one, and as much as it made sense story-wise I felt bad for the guy. Still, gotta go fast I guess.

Terrifying Avatar Award: Nale (for NAME PENDING)
Dude, please change it ASAP.

Rabid Karma Award: Cloak
Cloak nearly blew himself up on day 2 but was saved by Zyq. What good fortune! Then sadly he blew himself up two days later, despite having an invention to kill a townie.

Accidental Stealth award: Phoenix
Do you all realise that Phoenix was away for most of the round, only really getting involved in the last two days, and yet he almost won the game.
Literally, it was a coinflip. The other result would have been Possessed victory.

Innocence Award: DA
Even though he had the role to turn invisible, he did not need it. DA was not anyone’s target a single time in the whole game. Funny, given his role was Amy who usually see a lot of night actions ;-)

PM Pro Award: Tael
The guy sent me 16 of them!

Terribad Hosting Award: Zink
Umm... There were several small mistakes (timezone errors, confusing colours), a few large-ish ones (forgetting to say who died), and then one ENORMOUS ONE, which thankfully nobody spotted while playing:
I attempted to assign the roles by RNG, but used the tool wrong. As a result the first player to sign up (Link) was Sonic, and the final four (Cloak Stalin Vat and Phoenix) were mafia. You could basically see who was who on the front page. Thanks to Link for pointing this out.
Also, the balancing was awful as I decided to have 0 vanilla roles and I made some really strange decisions (Cheese being passed on after Cream’s death? Inventor and roleblocking in mafia? What was I thinking?!), I can see many things I would have done different. Could have gone worse, eh? These things happen first time. Maybe?
All in all though, I had fun, and thank you for having me!

PHONIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIX

Thanks for hosting Zink, very fun round!

GG guys!

Either way, good show everyone!
Tael, I was wholeheartedly confused by how you worded your role and how everything came together.

Nevertheless, don't beat yourself like that, Zink! It was a great game with a hilarious story!
Good show, old chap.

>Amy not Mafia Prostitue
zink pls

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF


SO CLOSE TO WINNING BY DOING NOTHING

GOD DAMN

Literally all the time this con was going on Alpar and Draco was here and Me, those two and Diabeetus were at a con. I barely paid attention.

Also Alpar is here too, saying Zink is the best person ever for making the Amy joke.
